Mother's Day is known for sleeping late and enjoying a fabulous breakfast in bed. At least that's how we did it when I was growing up. My mom would enjoy sleeping in and was awoken to a fantastic brunch loaded with eggs, french toast and fruit. Well, I have come a long way since then.

To that end, I've put together this list of our favorite Mother's Day breakfast ideas that all get made ahead of time so you can enjoy May 12, 2024, together.
